<div class="bbWrapper">Hey guys, when I shift my jeep into reverse or 1st gear it makes a noise no problems going into gear but the noise aint right. It has a brand new clutch pressure plate and throw out bearing. could it be as simple as needing the linkage adjusted.</div>

Did you put grease on the inside of the throw-out bearing before you installed it... there should be a little groove on the Inside to put grease in. This helps it slide over the bearing retainer &quot;tube&quot; smoothly. What tranny do you have? <br /> Check you linkages and make sure you have the proper play/travel before engagement.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">The clutch may be dragging and not fully disengaging. This would be most noticeable when you are not moving. <br /> You should have about one inch of free play to the clutch pedal before the clutch starts to disengage. <br /> <div style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /> <script class="js-extraPhrases" type="application/json"> { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox_previous": "Previous", "lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded.

The clutch fork (part 3) pivots on a ball. To adjust the clutch pedal travel you need to screw part 4 and 2 apart to make that assembly longer.<br /> Check out this link:<br /> <a href="http://www.jeep-cj.com/forums/f2/correct-clutch-pedal-travel-specification-1522/#post58425" target="_blank" class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/community/proxy.php?link=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jeep-cj.com%2Fforums%2Ff2%2Fcorrect-clutch-pedal-travel-specification-1522%2F%23post58425&amp;hash=c0e1e84192709e15fcc5cf29dcebfc5e" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">http://www.jeep-cj.com/forums/f2/correct-clutch-pedal-travel-specification-1522/#post58425</a><br /> </span>&#8203;</div></div>
